Review


I finally tried Kann after seeing lots of hype in the press in the last few months, and I'm really happy to say it lived up to my (high) expectations! The staff was really friendly and helpful in terms of suggesting how much to order and giving details on the dishes and drinks. The food was all so interesting and flavorful, with plenty of spice and tropical flavors, and it's clear that this restaurant is a labor of love. I really enjoyed having lots of non alcoholic drink options, but the regular cocktails looked great too. There were lots of standout dishes (the octopus and red cabbage mains were very different and both fantastic!), but perhaps the most amazing thing to me was the plantain brioche rolls - a must-order if you miss good bread as much as I do, and truly amazing that they are gluten free. Such a great meal, and I'm looking forward to trying the basement bar sometime soon too! (Apparently it has a completely different menu, so even more gluten free options to try.)

Reservations seem a bit cut throat at the moment, so if you want a guaranteed table I'd recommend planning ahead (reservations are released a month+ out, with details on the process on their instagram). I recommend the chef's counter if you have a small party! A great view of the kitchen and the wood hearth.
